Super Soul Flow ~ April Canvas #1 - ABUNDANCE ~ Meditation Canvas

"We are going to explore THREE types of abundance that are available to us at any time:

#1 INNER abundance

#2 CREATIVE abundance

#3 RADIANT abundance

To connect to the energy of abundance, we are going to begin with exploring the magnificent color wheel. You are going to explore the infinite, and most abundant, shades of color that you can create yourself!

One of the statements I have heard new painters make throughout my career is, “It is getting muddy,” or “I don’t have the right color.” Therefore, becoming comfortable mixing colors is a valuable practice and one that will illustrate, symbolically, the abundance all around us!

In the ABUNDANCE video I take you through the color wheel. I encourage you to spend some time during your Painting Practice this month playing with the colors. Mix many different shades of your favorite color, for example. There is no end to the shades of color you can create!

You can mix infinite shades of red and blue, starting with red and adding a little bit of blue, then a little more, and more…and then you get to PURPLE!

You can also mix OPPOSITE COLORS. These are my favorite. If you look at this color mandala, you can see that the opposite colors are RED & GREEN, PURPLE & YELLOW,ORANGE & BLUE. When you add just a bit of the opposite color into a color, i.e. a bit of orange into blue, you get an “earthy” shade of that color. "
